On Monday, the night of the 9th of Kislev, Parshas Vayishlach, a group of worshipers from the 'Rebbe Nachman of Breslov' synagogue in the city of Holon entered for a lesson at the residence of our teacher, the Rav (Rabbi Berland) shlit"a (may he live long and good days).

The lesson lasted for about half an hour; before you is a summary of the topics about which our teacher, the Rav shlit"a, spoke during the lesson.

Pirkei D'Rabbi Eliezer, Chapter 24, says they told Cain that that day was Pesach (Passover) and he could do teshuvah (repentance). "Lamech seventy-seven" who came in a gilgul (reincarnation) of Shaul (King Saul). Noah's mistake was that he planted a grapevine. Cain missed the Afikoman (the symbolic matzah eaten at the end of the Passover Seder). Esau also missed the Afikoman because the Satan untied the knots of the deer he hunted for Yitzchak (Isaac), and by the time he arrived, the time for the Afikoman had already passed, and he missed the blessings. In the Megaleh Amukos (a Kabbalistic work), it is brought that the ministering angel of Egypt holds a goat in his right hand for the sale of Yosef (Joseph), and this is not atoned for even after Mashiach (the Messiah) comes, and a ram in his left hand because he [Abraham] did not slaughter Yitzchak. But in truth, Yitzchak was spiritually included in the ram; because Avraham did not sacrifice Yitzchak, the two Holy Temples were destroyed. There are 400 brazen heavenly courts, and only Rabbeinu (Rebbe Nachman) can subdue them. Everyone blames the Prime Minister for the war, but in truth, it is the Left, led by Gallant and Herzi Halevi, who cleared out the army. All the killings are because of the sale of Yosef. Yosef did not meet his father so that he wouldn't ask him what happened, for then it would have been revealed that the brothers sold him, and he [Yaakov] would have been strict, and no trace of the brothers would have remained. The brothers did not understand why Yosef specifically wanted this current goblet, and he told them that with it, they could search for their lost brother. The Rebbe (Rebbe Nachman) says that all the wisdoms in the world can be internalized in one second, in one hour; one needs to know all the wisdoms. From every letter, an angel is created; if one learns for eight hours every day for a week, that is six hundred myriad (6,000,000) angels who accompany him, and therefore we say 'Shalom Aleichem' (the song welcoming angels). From the age of 13, I haven't missed a minyan (prayer quorum); I used to hide the Gemara (Talmud) under the table, and the teacher would lose his mind. 'To the Chief Musician, a Psalm of David: May Hashem answer you...' (Tehillim 20) refers to the coming of Mashiach; all the prophecies are being fulfilled now. David wanted to conquer Rome—"Who will lead me to Edom"—so that it would not destroy the Holy Temple. But he [Hashem] said that the time had not yet come. The Geulah (Redemption) will be 28 'parts' of an hour before the end of the sixth millennium; this comes out to 28 years before. All the settlements were established by the Charedim (ultra-Orthodox). Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our Teacher) saw everything that would happen; everything is hinted at in Tehillim (Psalms).
